With regret, my three Vera controllers (VeraSecure and VeraPlus) are now in a cupboard. It's been such a shame to see the support for vera drop to impossible from being able to get someone on the phone straight away over the years. A firmware update (official) killed one of them and support didnt replace it. EZLO secure never came to the UK.
I've been with vera since vera3 and had a LOT of automations in PLEG and Reactor on that platform.
Updates were few, and the hugely contributing people on the forums telling Vera/Ezlo support how to fix things often got banned when they raised concerns.
They had so much good potential and reasonably decent hardware in itself. I moved everything (60 z wave devices) and my alarm panel and weather station all into HA. It's been a pain, but with MSR at least I have some familiarity and less MASSIVE pains including devices like you get with over 50 or less on the Vera. At least in ZwaveJS when something goes wrong, its easy to check logs and reinterview/delete entities that aren't valid and sort it, without the exclude/include everytime (sometimes many times per device) on the other platform.
z stick on Pi with HA has less range and more tedious backup methods, and not as tidy package on the shelf, but at least its progressive.
And i'm able to update the z wave devices OTA without excluding and including into a different network to do it as a bonus.
